Tram (metro)

From Porto, there is a direct metro line "E", or rather a fast tram line, to the airport. It connects the airport with the city centre, the train and bus stations, as well as the main football stadium. The metro runs every 20-30 minutes and takes you to the city centre in half an hour.

For timetables and maps of the Porto metro, visit the official website: en.metrodoporto.pt.

Single tickets

A 75-minute ticket costs 2,25 eur. You must select the Z4 ticket to travel through the 4 zones, before that you must buy an Andante card at the machine for 0,60 eur, which you can use to buy additional tickets at will.

You can only load one ticket per Andante card. After the expiry date, you can load another ticket of your choice onto the card at any vending machine without having to issue a new card for € 0.60.
